THE DELANCEY

ForYourBelly

CRUMBALICIOUS: Cupcake Kings

If you still enjoy licking icing off of your fingers like a child as much as I do…try flavors such as red velvet, key lime, and Reese’s peanut butter for a change. Crumbs Cupcakes is what Sprinkles is in Los Angeles- a haven for those desiring a decorative sugar rush seated atop moist cake. My favorite is the apple caramel, with chunks of real apple and a caramel coating oh so sweet and rich.


  SABOR COMIDA: Sofrito
400 E 57th St. at 1st Ave.  (212) 486-2255

Sofrito is a combination of ingredients that give Puerto Rican food its distinctive, delicious flavor. Sofrito, a popular restaurant on the eastside, brings these distinctive flavors to every dish. The menu includes authentic classics like pernil, a portion large enough to feed three people and arroz con gandules. Still not sure? I’ve found one thing on the expansive menu that never disappoints-- the skirt steak with chimichurri sauce. Garlic lovers will devour this tender cut for both its tanginess and distinct flavor. The pineapple mojitos are fresh and delicious, and live music and salsa dancing permeates the dining and lounge area on weekends. With prices much lower than most midtown digs, Sofrito is a must.

 

SUMMER REFRESHMENT: Hint Drinks
Available at Whole Foods
www.drinkhint.com
Here is a great new line out of the plethora of flavored waters out there; flavors are crisp and range from pear to mango.
